The Gazette of last night contains the Dis patches•fiom Sir JOHN STUART, relative to the cap ture of the Islands of Ischia and Procida, and those of Major-General CAamicHAEL, announcing the surrender of the City of St. - Domingo. Trey con firm, in all the particulars, what we stat ed to be the substance of the Dispatches received from both those gallant . Officers. Sir JOHN S-ruaar having formed, in concert with Rear-Admiral MARTIN, a proje& for operating a diversion in favour of Austria, proceeded with great protnptness to its execution. The Expedition sailed from Sicily, on the 11th of June, and after menac ing the coast of Naples, a debarkation was effe6led co the 24th of that month, on the Island of Ischia, which surrendered on the 30111. A summons was . immediately sent to the Garrison of Procidp,w hie!) sur ren,lered the same day, without opposition. The s safile do . ; also (30th June) the greater parrot . a Flotilla Of about 40 Neapolitan Gun-boats were, as 'we before ,stated, either captured or destroyed by a Squadron tinder the command of Capt. STAINES, of tilt Cyaue. Fifteen hundred prisoners were taken, and a great quantity of stores and ammunition, including one h..ndled pieces of ordnance. In consequence of this well-timed diversion, a con siderable body of troops which had been previously 4etached from Naples as a reinforcement to the army of Upper Italy, as well as neatly the whole of the troops which had been sent into the Roman States to aid the French usurpation of the. Papal dominions, were hastily recalled to defend the Neapolitan coast. On the .2d of July, the enemy destroyed their works at Scylla, and evacuated the - Castle, leaving an immense quantity of .Ordance and Stores, whiCh had been placed there in depot, and - which fell info our hands. The capture of these stores was of consi derable importance as-they had been progressively accumulating by the enemy, preparatory to an in tended invasion of Sicily. The who!e of the, service was executed in a gal lant style, and we are happy to say with trifling lozs. By, the Dispatch of Major-General CARMICHAEL t appears, that he sailed from Jamaica on the 7th of Jane, and arrived at Polirtue, in St. Do mingo on the 28411 ult.; on the 20th a Negotiation commenced 4%4th the French General commanding at the City of St. Domingo, which terminated in the surrender of the City on the 6th of July, after preparations had been made by our troops for an assault. We have the satisfaction of stating, that no loss whatever was su.zained by our troops in this Expedition. A Gotteni.)nrgh Alail arrived this morning.

At two o'clock this afiernoon the troops were ordered to disembark. The van having been landed with the first brigade,. my Adjutant-General, Co . Innel LAGERBRING, marched himself, with part of - , said•troops, to occupy Djekneboda, and another part marched, under theorders.of Colonel Baron FLETWOOD, it, the direction of Bygden.

Captain WAtiLsTma immediately proCeeded to Wismar with a Flag of Truce, went to the Governor, and inquired the. reason why the convoy was not permitted to sail up to the town The-Governor answered, that he had orders not to ,permit any ships laden with Swedish produce to en ter the port, but told him, at the same time, that the Duke of MECKLNBURGH, u ho was acquainted with the arrival of the convoy, wished to speak . with the Commander of the convoy, and see his or , ders. The Captain iMmediaiely waited on. his High ness, and produced his orders, and a return of the .ships under his convoy, and their cargoes.. The -Duke told him, that however painful it proved to him to let the convoy go back.; especially as he found that the greatest part- of the cargo belonged to his own subject's, yet he could not allow the ships to unload, without the French Emperor having granted the :necessary leave ter that - purpose, which could not be obtained within less than six weeks, but that his Highness should be glad if the- Captain would proceed to Hamburg!), and. endeavour to obtain floin the French Minister, residing there, leave tor the convoy to unload in Wiemar. The Captain de termined to go to Hamburgh, and from thence to • Travemunde, where' he found the French Minister; and this measure succeeded so well, that the Mini ter sent orders to 'Wismar and Rostock, that all Swedish, Ittneranian, and neutral ships, laden with Swedish produce, and furnished with a..ibentie cer tificates, should be allowed to unload and load in the above ports.
